[ovirt-users] Where are snapshots stored when using block storage?

[Cristian Mammoli]

Hi, has far as I understand when using block storage disk images are 
just logical volumes. So what happens when I snapshot a VM? a new LV is 
created or what? I tried to poke around in my test env without success.


Thank you

Hi Cristian,
Yes, a new LV is created for the snapshot, you can see the new created LV
by logging to the host and running:
# pvscan --cache
# lvs
You will see all the LVs including the new one in the VG that goes by the
same name as the storage domain containing the disk
